Pours a beautiful clear deep red color with very little off-white head. Malty aromas of bread, wood and nuts and it has a vinous aroma and some aroma of prunes and cherrys as well. Nicely complex and balanced. The taste is medium to high in sweetness, low in bitterness and lightly acidic. Flavor notes of dried fruits and red wine. Has some off flavor I am not quite certain of. Might be a little wet cartboard. Besides this it is quite pleasant.

Bottle, 7.9%. Sort of dry, dusty aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Disturbingly large tan head, but does not seem infected. The flavour is sweetish, roasted, caramelly, jammy. Has a hint of metal, some brown sugar and dry liquorice. Quite complex for the style, but tastes good.

Bottle. Pours clear dark copper brown with profuse, stable beige head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel,mwith notes of hops and touches of yeast. Bitter, hoppy flavour with sweetish notes of caramel amlt and touches of roast and yeast. Roasty and caramellush aftertaste. High carbonation. Decent. Has features of an ale, especially in the aroma and the mouthfeel, but this does not make it bad.
